Re: White pages after some chapters using KOMA script book

[stephen's mailinglist account]

2010/1/15 Richard Brown rich...@guidedelearning.com:
 Hello again.

 I'm struggling still, though I can now see some progress...
 But my problem now is that I have an unwanted empty white page after
 some, but not all, chapters. I can't see any logic as to why, either in
 my input ms or in the output dvi. What should I be looking for, anfd how
 can I change this?

 Grateful as always for your time and input.

 Richard


Is this to do with two page settings so that new chapters start on the right?

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[stephen's mailinglist account]

in raw LaTeX there is a package pdflscape which allows you to set an
environment (\begin{landscape}..\end{landscape}. Content in between is
rotated, but headers and footers are left as per normal.
I have used this with a rotated supertabular which stetched over a few
pages. Don't know whether lyX can implement.  may need some ERT

2010/1/15 Richard Brown rich...@guidedelearning.com:
 Hello yet again.

 I have a big table in my ms, which can only fit on the page if I put it
 in landscape mode. How do I do this for just one page, leaving the rest
 as portrait which is fine? I'm using Koma script Book and the table was
 generated by using insert  float  table

 Thanks again.

Confession time: when it worked well I did it without a float.  I am

work with some of the ideas from there

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

 SteveT,

  In my book there is one table that is wide but short. I set that one page
 in landscape orientation while all other pages are in portrait orientation.
 Worked just fine.

 Rich

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[stephen's mailinglist account]

I have checked across in the thread on floats, sub-floats SOLVED.

If you surround your table with some ERT
\afterpage{\clearpage
...
table here
...
}
One can then choose the option to rotate the table from the dialogue
box.  This moves the table onto its own page, but this behaves as a
float because the text continues on the previous page, and onto the
page after the table.
Perhaps we are making it altogether too complicated because one could
just insert the float and rotate the whole table using the dialogue
box.
I think I couldn't see the wood for the trees because my test table
was a long table.

Re: floats and subfloats with longtables SOLVED

2010/1/15 Rob Oakes lyx-de...@oak-tree.us:
 Dear Daniel, Liviu and Other LyX Users,

 Daniel and Liviu, thank you very much for the recommendations and for the 
 link.  I've been experimenting with the \afterpage package all morning, and I 
 am very happy to report that it works famously.  I am able to exactly the 
 type of behavior that I wanted by using the \afterpage{\clearpage LongTable} 
 macro.

 Because I've never been a huge fan of using ERT in LyX documents (at least no 
 more than is necessary), I decided to create a custom inset that would 
 automatically place long tables at the top of a new page, while maintaining 
 the wrapping of the text.

 The attached module is a first run at that inset.  I've been testing it on a 
 couple of rather complicated documents, and it works exactly like I want it 
 to.  I'm relatively sure that I'll come across bugs and other such stuff, so 
 I'm sure that it will get posted to my website at some point.

 I am forwarding it to the group in the hope that others will find it useful.

 Cheers,

 Rob Oakes


that seems to work very well thank you very much.  Float the long
table to the top of a page.  Table breaks and text continues after
table finishes on second page.

module can also be modified for putting longtables sideways on a page
change preamble to this
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\newcommand{\longtablelandscapepage}[1]{%
\afterpage{\clearpage\begin{landscape} 
{#1}\end{landscape}}}

that seems to work very well thank you very much.  Float the long
table to the top of a page.  Table breaks and text continues after
table finishes on second page.

module can also be modified for putting longtables sideways on a page
change preamble to this
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\newcommand{\longtablelandscapepage}[1]{%
\afterpage{\clearpage\begin{landscape} 
{#1}\end{landscape}}}

Re: floats and subfloats with longtables SOLVED

[stephen's mailinglist account]

Can more than one inset layout be placed in a module? Or does this
(landscape longtable) have to be a second module?

Personally to classify it as a bug I would need to be able to

Definition/description list - more than one word for the definition term

[stephen's mailinglist account]

Is it possible to create a definition list in LyX where the definition
term or thing being defined is for more than one word without
resorting to ERT?
In LaTeX this would be something like
 \begin{description}
 \item[OneWord] First item
 \item[Two words] Second item
 \end{description}

I can do this by inserting the two words in ERT (i.e. {Two Words}) - I
just wondered if there was a 'Lyx' way

 (IMV, this is a hack too. I'd prefer a TAB as end definition term

 Or is it possibe, just to copy the lyx-folder from my lyx-installation

I am not sure how you would set that up for koma-script report class.  It
does not natively recognise \frontmatter and \mainmatter.
 You could try a koma-book class where it would work, but you may need to
define your own abstract environment as book does not use abstract normally.
Or you could put the text below into the preamble (or use it in your own
layout file) - I found it in a Leeds University Thesis class file.
%ROMANPAGES
%
% The romanpages environment set the page numbering to lowercase roman one
% for the contents and figures lists. It also resets
% page-numbering for the remainder of the dissertation (arabic, starting at
1).
\newenvironment{romanpages}
{\setcounter{page}{1}
  \renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}}
{\newpage\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}\setcounter{page}{1}}

Once you have this in the preamble you can start the document with some ERT
(\begin{romanpages}) and then \end{romanpages}
Insert your abstract (and title) between these commands, and the TOC after.

If this is used in a custom layout file (and the enviroment set up) you
should be able to select it from the drop down environments.

I am not sure how you would set that up for koma-script report class.  It
does not natively recognise \frontmatter and \mainmatter.
 You could try a koma-book class where it would work, but you may need to
define your own abstract environment as book does not use abstract normally.
Or you could put the text below into the preamble (or use it in your own
layout file) - I found it in a Leeds University Thesis class file.
%ROMANPAGES
%
% The romanpages environment set the page numbering to lowercase roman one
% for the contents and figures lists. It also resets
% page-numbering for the remainder of the dissertation (arabic, starting at
1).
\newenvironment{romanpages}
{\setcounter{page}{1}
  \renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}}
{\newpage\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}\setcounter{page}{1}}

Once you have this in the preamble you can start the document with some ERT
(\begin{romanpages}) and then \end{romanpages}
Insert your abstract (and title) between these commands, and the TOC after.

If this is used in a custom layout file (and the enviroment set up) you
should be able to select it from the drop down environments.

 Hey,
 I would like my pagecounting beginning at the TOC, so that the document
 starts with the roman numbers (I, II, III, ...) but as soon as it reaches
 the TOC it should start with the latin ones (1, 2, 3, 4, ...).
 Does anyone have an idea how I could get this started?

 Thank you very much!

 I have just tried this with the book class/layout

To get it to work I used some ERT.  I inserted \frontmatter then had some
titles etc. Then I put in the command \mainmatter and followed this with the
TOC.
It seemed to work.

Hope this helps

To get it to work I used some ERT.  I inserted \frontmatter then had some
titles etc. Then I put in the command \mainmatter and followed this with the
TOC.
It seemed to work.

Hope this helps
